Endive, Apple and Walnut Salad image

This classic French combination makes a great autumn and winter salad. Walnuts and apples are always a good mix, and their flavors contrast nicely with the bitter endive. Gruyère cheese has a nutty flavor and adds a bit of protein, as well.

Ingredients

1 pound (about 6) Belgian endives
1 tart apple
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Scant 1/2 cup broken walnut pieces
1 1/2 ounces Gruyère cheese, cut in thin slivers about 1/3 heaped cup
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a mix of chopped fresh parsley and chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

Remove any damaged outer leaves of the endives and rinse with cold water. Dry with paper towels, then separate the leaves, or slice crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in a wide salad bowl. Add the walnuts, gruyère, parsley and tarragon.
Quarter the apple and cut away the core, then slice very thin (you should have at least 16 slices). Place in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Whisk together the vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oils. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Drain the apple slices, dry on paper towels, then add to the salad bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut Belgian endive or a salad mix that includes endive.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. This will enhance their flavor.
Use a variety of cheeses in your salad. Some good options include blue cheese, goat cheese, feta, and Parmesan.
If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Use about 1/4 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh.
Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the endive from wilting.

Conclusion:

Belgian endive walnut salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its combination of bitter endive, crunchy walnuts, and creamy cheese, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
